Abstract
Description
x(t)=s(t) h m(t) (1)
where represents the mathematical function of convolution. As such, the second audio signal s(t) as detected by the microphone may be determined based on the signal outputted from the microphone x(t) and the acoustic characteristic hm(t) of the microphone. For instance, a calibration algorithm, such as hm −1(t) may be applied to the audio signal outputted from the microphone of the
s(t)=f(t) h pe(t) (2)
where hpe(t) represents an acoustic characteristic of audio content played by the
z(t)=s(t)×p(t) (3)
Accordingly, the audio processing algorithm p(t) may be mathematically described as:
p(t)=z(t)/s(t) (4)
m(t)=s(t) h p(t) (5)
Analogously, given that the first audio signal detected by the microphone of the
n(t)=f(t) h n(t) (6)
m(t) h p −1(t)=n(t) h n −1(t) (7)
Accordingly, since the data indicating the first audio signal n(t), the data indicating the second audio signal m(t), and the acoustic characteristic of the
